WOODSMEN OF THE WEST. 



By M. ALLERDALE GRAINGER. 



With Illustrations. Demy %vo. 78. 6d. net. 



This is an extremely interesting personal narrative of { logging ' 



in British Columbia. ' Logging,' as everyone knows, means felling 



and preparing for the saw-mill the giant timber in the forests that 



fringe the Pacific coast of Canada, and it is probably true that 



no more strenuous work is done on the face of the earth. Mr. 



Grainger, who is a Cambridge Wrangler, has preferred this manual 



work to the usual mental occupations of the mathematician, and 



gives us a vivid and graphic account of an adventurous life. 



ARVAT. 



B Bramatic poem in jfouc Bets. 

 By LEOPOLD H. MYERS. 



Crown 8vo. 45. 6d. net. 



The author of this play is a son of the late Frederick Myers, the 

 well-known authority on ' Psychical Research.' It is a poetical 

 drama in four acts, describing the rise and fall of the hero, Arvat. 

 The time and place are universal, as are also the characters. But 

 the latter, though universal, and therefore in a sense symbolic, are 

 psychologically human, and the significance of the action, heightened 

 as it may be by interpretation through the imagination, is neverthe- 

 less independent of it. Thus Arvat's career, while providing subject- 

 matter for a drama among individuals in the flesh, may also be taken 

 as the symbol of a drama among ideas in the spirit. 



PEEP-IN-THE-WORLD. 



B Storg for Gbtl&rem 



By Mrs. F. E. CRICHTON. 



Illustrated by Harry Roimtvee. Crown 8vo. 35. 6d. 



The author of this charming tale ought to take rank with such 



writers as Mrs. Molesworth in the category of childhood's literature. 



The story tells of a little girl who visits her uncle in Germany and 



spends a year in an old castle on the borders of a forest. There she 



finds everything new and delightful. She makes friends with a dwarf 



cobbler, who lives alone in a hut in the forest, and knows the speech 



of animals and birds. Knut, the cobbler, is something of a hermit 



and a misanthrope, but he is conquered by Peep-in-the- World, whom 



he eventually admits to the League of Forest Friends. She wants 



him to teach her how to talk to the wild things of the woods, and 



though she has to leave Germany without learning the secret, she 



gains a growing sense of the magic power of sympathy and kindness.
